Tax Reform

tax form and coins

There is no way to tax the economy to growth. 

Our tax system is burdensome, complex, and administered by an out-of-control IRS. Big businesses and the well connected hire high-priced lawyers, accountants, and lobbyists to game the system, while everyday Americans and small businesses are left footing the bill. Meanwhile, we live in an increasingly competitive global environment, where our competitors are gaining an ever-increasing market share.

We need fundamental tax reform that lowers rates, simplifies the system, and eliminates special interest breaks and loopholes.

Since the great recession, the economy produced only anemic economic growth. This isn’t the fault of Americans, who are the hardest working people in the world. It’s the fault of our tax system which encourages companies to move overseas to remain competitive.

Our tax code should be a competitive advantage to business based in the United States. The American economy is being held back by our antiquated tax code. Once it is reformed, our economy will flourish again.

Davidson Applauds Passage of the Supporting America's Innovators Act

April 6, 2017 Press Release
The Supporting America's Innovator's Act (H.R. 1219) passed today with bipartisan support garnering 417 votes. Earlier this morning, Rep. Davidson (R-OH) offered the following comments on the floor of the House of Representatives encouraging the bill's passage: "It is nice to come here and see something that is truly collaborative and under way to help business. Prior to coming to congress last year, I spent the past 16 years growing manufacturing companies in Ohio. I know firsthand how difficult it is to acquire capital to start and operate and grow small businesses. Businesses that overcome these challenges are faced with numerous regulatory roadblocks that further hinder their growth. Many of those have come at the hands of regulatory frameworks like Dodd-Frank. But this bi-partisan measure that we are talking about today has the opportunity to help the challenges with capital acquisition that government has created and continuous to create."
